Sophia Loren or Geneviève Page


Who would you have rather had after watching this? ;)

reply

Sophia Loren is Sophia Loren. Who could refuse?

But the character played by Geneviève Page was smoldering in her sensuality. She clearly wanted Rodrigo, clearly wanted some male with her (incest aside), and wasn't getting it.

So imagine if she finally decides she wants YOU to spend the night with her. Would you be up to it?

reply

I'd refuse Loren in a heartbeat over Page. Of course if we were the last two people on earth maybe I'd let Loren have her way with me...

It's hard to compete with Sophia Loren, but, Genevieve Page -- wow. She's got that crazy-sexy vibe.

Exactly! She needed a knight in shining armor bad or watch out.

It has to be Genevieve.

I remmember seeing this movie as a young boy and thinking how sexy she was with the long blonde hair and husky voice.

I've recently bought the long over due widescreen version on DVD and my opinon hasn't changed.

It's a shame she didn't get a few more roles in big English language films of the time. I can only remmember seeing her in Mayerling and Robert Stephen's Sherlock Holmes after this.

reply

Yes the long blonde hair, husky voice and that one body hugging gold color outfit she wore! She kind of had a 60's swinging London look about her - all she needed were go-go boots and big hoop earrings. Yeah baby!

I prefer Sophia Loren.

reply

Genevieve Page had an angry, tough demeanor about her too. It showed in her face, as well.

Sophia

Page is so hot. I loved her in Belle de Jour and then saw her here.

reply

No comparison, you have to be blind not to pick Sophia after that morning scene in the barn.

reply

I remember the first time I saw, this my brother and I (I am a female) discussed both women and decided that you wouldn't look twice at Sophia Loren if Genevieve Page was around.
